Spring chicken
Okay, so I have a bit of a strange one here.
I got around to building a counterflow chiller earlier in the year to try and improve my cold break and get rid of some chill haze. It's a fairly standard design and the wort is in contact only with the copper pipe as it passes through the chiller. I have done several brews since then, and whenever I use this chiller I get a cloudy beer that just won't clear up, although it smells and tastes good. It seems like the cold break is just hanging in suspension or something, clinging to the side of the fermenter. I couldn't find anyone else with this problem on the forums.
I always use Irish moss and have tried using Kwik Clear finings. Still got a bucket of pea soup!
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! :)
